Pair of Antique Solid Silver Napkin Rings

Description

This is a very high quality pair of solid sterling silver napkin or serviette rings.

They are clearly hallmarked for Birmingham 1932 with the maker's mark of Joseph Gloster Ltd. They carry a Patent Number beside the hallmarks - 325841. The engine-turned decoration features slightly fluted and beaded edges with a beautiful horn inner lining. The horn is firmly attached. There is an italicised initial in the cartouche - could be a D, C or T. These napkin rings are in excellent condition. The box is original, the hinges good and the clasp tight. There is some wear on the box, but nothing more than one would expect from an item of this age.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Napkin rings were introduced in 19th-century Europe to identify individual cloth napkins between laundering cycles. Crafted in sterling silver, they became standard elements of formal dining place settings.

They were predominantly manufactured from sterling silver or silver plate, often featuring machine engine-turning, hand engraving, beaded rims, and occasionally interior linings made from horn, bone, or synthetic resins.

Authentic British pieces bear official assay office hallmarks stamped into the metal casing, which include a makers mark, purity mark, town mark, and date letter.

Pair them with modern linen napkins on a natural timber or stone dining table to create visual contrast between period metalwork and contemporary textures.

Clean gently using a soft microfiber cloth and specialised silver polish. Avoid abrasive scrubbers or prolonged water immersion if internal non-metallic linings are present.
